I have installed Eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu 11.10, and the marketplace is not showing up under "Help" so I have added http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ to the software repositorys in "Install new software". When I try to update Eclipse with "Help" -> "Check for updates" it shows a few things that should update, but I cannot install the updates because this error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I am not sure if I had exact same error message or not. However, I was able to resolve similar issue by opening eclipse from root.

Environment:
Eclipse 3.7.0, Ubuntu 11.10

Caution: I JUST DID THIS. LOOKS LIKE WORKING FINE. HOWEVER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I MESSED IT UP ANYTHING.

  1. Start terminal using (ctrl + alt + t)
  2. $sudo eclipse
  3. in eclipse go to "help->install new software"
  4. click on "available software sites". That will open "preferences" window.
  5. check if you have repositories mentioned below enabled. If not, then add them.

    http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
    http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7

  6. Now go back to eclipse main window and select "help->check for updates"

  7. first update eclipse platform. That will update IDE from 3.7.0 to 3.7.1
  8. update all other things.

  • The Android development tools is messed up. When I reïnstall it also doesn't work. – Wietse de Vries Feb 04 '12 at 12:57
  • My android development worked. However, there are other issues related to new updates or installations. I have to log in as root every time I want to use it. That is not good. I am going to re install everything. – Ripal Barot Feb 09 '12 at 13:37
  • http://varunsaini06.blogspot.com/2012/01/install-eclipse-371-on-ubuntu-1110.html This worked for me. From last 3 days I am using. So far no issues. – Ripal Barot Feb 12 '12 at 16:40
  • Permanent solution is to manually download eclipse, unzip it in home folder and run it from there. – Ripal Barot Apr 22 '16 at 16:17
